Not a baby anymore

Thirty one years ago today I became a mom for the first time. Yesterday as I sat reflecting about those last twenty-four hours before Elizabeth was born, I realized several things.

• We had some amazing couple friends back then. 
• I was too young to be a mother
• I couldn't have imagined how the years would have unfolded
• I wouldn't wish for any other daughter

Happy birthday, Elizabeth--and may you enjoy health, peace and prosperity all the rest of your days. I love you.
